The Mobile World Congress has finished leaving a trail of trending innovation and new technologies behind it. From the 25th to the 28th February, the city of Barcelona embraced the record cipher of around 70 thousand people from 205 different nationalities. The event was held at the new location Fira Gran Via, providing the infrastructure and space needed for the more than 1500 organizations participant. The novelties of the fair were not only around new mobile devices, their development and boost of their capacities, but this year the event included advances in other fields such as cloud based services, M2M solutions or 3G/4G connectivity, and all of them applied in a wide range of sectors such as business, transportation or financial and urban services, amongst others.

Developer Garden shared the booth of Deutsche Telekom, and presented new solutions and releases as the DG App Monitor -a useful tool for developers to monitor the performance over time of their applications- or the new features of Telekom Tropo, an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) solution.

Our Evangelist Mireia Montanyola  had the chance to participate in the WIP Jam event organized at the last day of the MWC and addressed to developers from around the globe.

Together with our friends from Oracle we showed you how to start a coffeemaker using your phone. By combining Java SE Embedded, a Raspberry Pi, our Telekom Tropo and a coffee machine, it's just one call to make developer's favorite brew.

Appropriate to that showcase also the topic of the workshop was Telekom Tropo, with which programmers played around and used to develop nice apps. In general, the hackathon and the WIP Jam event stood out for the large abundance of attendees and developers, together with the motivation and participation in the different challenges set.
